Help with overclocking AMD X2 6000?

Question

Hello

I was just wondering if anybody can help me out. I want to over clock my CPU to 3.3Ghz. The procesor i have is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, i relise that intel is alot better at overclocking but i dont want to spend money to buy a new processor. I have looked in the bios but the motherboard is quite old (2005) and doesnt have overclocking tools included. Is there any programs or software utilities or tools that can overclock my CPU without using the BIOS.

Oh and my computer is well cooled, and has a huge copper CPU heatsink. And my processor is supose to be running at 3Ghz but only runs at 2.9????

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

i already try overclocking my cpu through bios. after using it, a few minutes the computer will hang up and reboot it self. i think you dont need to overclock your cpu. you have already amd athlon 64 x2 6000.
